Instructions
First, prepare your tofu. Like most vegan tofu recipes, this one will taste best if you press the tofu first. Why? Tofu is like a sponge - the more water you gently press out of it, the more of the delicious barbecue sauce flavors marinate it can soak up!
Press tofu (See recipe note below)
Once your tofu is well-pressed, chop it into chunks, and combine your tofu with the remaining ingredients in a crock pot or slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
